waking up to a home next door

woke up feeling like my brain was in a mess after last night's coregroup meeting so i called ellie half asleep and asked if i could go over. so i did. went over and crawled into her bed. everyone else was still sleeping.
i find times like that precious, when i can rock up in my pjs and unbrushed teeth and say things that dont quite make sense and know that someone else is just beside you listening and not really caring that you're in your most unglam state, not making very much sense.

i dont think i normally write about what i do in detail. but i just feel like remembering this morning. this is the kind of home i want to have.

headed upstairs to cut myself a slice of the banana and chocolate marble cake that rachel low brought over for the housewarming while el cooked quinoa, and had soft boiled eggs with last night's apple crumble. omg last night's japanese feast the guys and el cooked up was amazing. joseph came up and heated up some miso soup. jon woke up and joined us upstairs. then ken came. the slow start to the morning was good. ellie and i pulled out venites to read together just now. Today's canticle was confronting but so good.

If we claim to be sharing in  your life while we go on living in darkness, our words and our lives are a lie. But if we live in the light, as You are the light, then we share a common life, and the blood of your son cleanses us from all sin. If we claim to be sinless, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth does not live within us. If we confess our sins, You may be trusted to forgive them, and to cleanse us from every wrongdoing. (we still need to confess, for he is a fearsome God. But He can also be trusted to forgive us and cleanse us).  If we say we have committed no sin, we make you out to be a liar, and your word has no place within us.

ken just cooked us all instnat tom yum noodle with eggs from the basement.  we're all working on our machines.. cept jon who's on the psp ps3?? the tv remote control thing that you can use to race cars. i had officially earned myself the title of Swaku Queen in this apartment. mmpf. work starts in an hour! woooot!
